Chapter 721
Yan Bingyun looked across the faux mountain at Fan Xian behind the moss- and snow-covered doorThere was no expression on his faceNo one knehat he was thinkingAfter a moment of silence, he coldly said, “You know too et, I've been by your side for many yearsI know at least a little about thethese years, you've been turning your focus toward Northern QiFan Sizhe is still in ShangjingIf you say that you've never thought about betraying the court andto Northern Qi, how can I believe you?”
Fan Xian coughed gently and forced a sdoreement with the Ee ainst the court and stand with Northern QiPlease be assured of this”
“This matter involves the nation and lives of yun's voice was pitched very lowHe scolded angrily, “I don't care what strange agrees change? If you leave the Qing Kingdo, who knows if you'll be driven usting? Are you talking about selling the secrets of the palace treasury to Northern Qi or leading the Qi people in attacking the Qing Kingdoly“One has to keep so as the Es will not happenYou should know that the assassination attempt in the Palace was just a small-scale battleI have not used all ofas I am alive, the Eht,” Fan Xian said as his eyes grew cold“He doesn't want the world to fall into chaos, so he cannot ry he is, for the sake of his great aet, those people are people you are familiar withThey were once your buddies, friends, and colleagues! If you kill ht now, the power in my hands will be without a leaderTo speak honestly, when a dragon is without its head, the Emperor will be able to carve at it sloith underhanded tactics”
“Do you want those people you were once so close with to fall one by one beneath the Eyun's eyes and spoke each word clearly
Yan Bingyun was silent for a ht about this for a long timeBut, you have to know that there can only be one sun in the sky and one ruler under heavenIf you're alive, even if you re court would still have been forcefully broken in two by you regardless of the balance on the surfaceFor the Qing Kingdo”
“I just want the people I want to protect to live onFor the sake of this goal, I have to be aliveIn the future, I will stand far away on a tall mound and looked coldly at you and the Emperor in the teuard”
“Don't forget, if you die, the officials of the Council will eventually have to accept this reality one dayThe Ehty and powerfulHe will certainly think of a way to take back the Overwatch Council and your subordinates in Jiangnan,” Yan Bingyun said as he stared into his eyes“On the surface, you want to protect their livesBut, in reality? In reality, you are just using these people's strength to threaten the Emperor and the courtYou refuse to die, but you're only using the Overwatch Council as a private weapon to further your desires”
“Why can I not do that?” Fan Xian coughed gently and looked at Yan Bingyun with narrowed eyes
“Both you and the Director once said,” Yan Bingyun said calmly, “the Overwatch Council is a public tool and not a private weaponHow can you use the public tools of a nation for your private gain? This is not what I admire about you”
“Is that so?” A coldness appeared in Fan Xian's eyesHe said coldly and ly, “The Overwatch Council is a public tool that I cannot use privately… Then, why don't you stand up bravely and reprimand the Emperor when he uses the Overwatch Council for his own desires?”
These words struck directly against Yan Bingyun's heartHe stared at Fan Xian in a daze, unable to digest themIn this world, in every official's heart, the Edom, and the publicThe Overwatch Council was a public toolIt was a knife in the hands of the Eet what you said yourselfThe Overwatch Council is a public tool, not the Emperor's private weaponThe person on the throne is, in the end, a single personDon't use hi at Yan Bingyun coldly“Since it is a public tool, naturally, it belongs to the virtuousYes, I am not a virtuous person, but can you say that the Emperor is a virtuous person?”
“Since he and I, father and son, are just two bastards, old and young, then it is very sis to” Fan Xian no longer looked at Yan Bingyun's expressionPicking up a pot of water, he took a drink with difficultyColdly, he said, “This Council was established by Ye Qinght does the Eht do you have to say these pointless things to anization used to supervise the Eht as well not be the Director of the Overwatch Council” He put down the pot, scolding with a disdainful and bored tone
There was death-like silenceWaves of shock rose in Yan Bingyun's heartHe had always thought Fan Xian was hurt over Chen Pingping's death so bravely took a stand against the Eht that, in Fan Xian's heart, there was sinity in imperial authorityIt was truly difficult for Sir Yan junior to digest such a treasonous and traitorous argu tih this pointDirector Chen had never taught him this, and Fan Xian had never talked about this before eitherThe Overwatch Council was for the purpose of supervising the E at Yan Bingyun's expression frolih Fan Xian's heartHe knew that in this world, no one other than Chen Pingping, who had been deeply influenced by his mother, and himself, could accept thisEven his father, far away in Danzhou, probably could not accept thisHis father had only gradually grown distant froyun raised his head and looked quietly at Fan XianHe was about to doht for his entire life, he could not allow Fan Xian to take so n enemy nationIf he actually took action and delivered hiyun knew that Fan Xian would certainly die today
Fan Xian did not seeyun's decisionSuddenly, a so out from the shadows of the faux mountain, “It's so late, what is there to talk about? It won't be good if those woyun's body frozeHe recognized that the person talking was his fatherWith unusual difficulty, he turned aroundHis fists in his sleeves were clenched very tightlyHe was silent for ahisIf a bystander were to find out that Fan Xian was hiding in his manor, he would have no choice but to kill hiht as he was about to ive hiiven his help, how could Fan Xian, with his meridians in tatters after his heavy injuries, have hidden into the secret room in the faux mountainHow could the wounds be dressed? How could there be food and water by his side?
Yan Bingyun knew that his father's see their affection as father and son to threaten hiainst Fan Xian's interests, then this entire faht fall because of this
Fan Xian looked calmly at Yan Ruohai in the darkness, at the old leader of the Fourth Bureau, and pulled his lips up with difficulty into a smileIn a low voice, he said, “Let's not speak nowGo back first”
Advertiseyun coldly, “Naturally, you will not listen to anything I sayIn the compartment in the Council, there are a few files that I took froo have a look”
These words were spoken lightlyFan Xian seeainst hi tihtly closedIn the end, he left the faux mountain and turned toward his own roomsHis decision to silently leave probably destroyed soure appear somewhat desolate
“No one will come by the faux mountain, rest assured,” Yan Ruohai approached the faux mountain and said with a warm smile“What you said about the Council earlier was very trueHopefully, he can understand sohtly and replied, “I can't co your own head to protect yun could not bear to use your life and death to prove his faithSince everything has a price, presumably he will slowly come to understand”
Other than the Yan father and son, no one else in Jingdou knew Fan Xian's whereaboutsThe search in Jingdou continued unstoppably, with no sign of letting up at allCountless streets, alleys, and ho court found unusually strange was that the heavily injured and unable tospirit and disappeared from the face of the earth( Boxno velcowith the edict and carrying out all kinds of intelligence sorting work but with no resultsThe pursuit was primarily headed by the military and internal court with the Overwatch Council just cooperatingThus, it was comparatively less busyThe present Director of the Overwatch Council, Yan Bingyun, was not like Ye Zhong or Eunuch Yao, so busy and tense that they were unable to sleepOn the contrary, there was an increase of his presence in the square and sinister building on Tianhe Avenue where he could be seen reading intently
Yan Bingyun heeded Fan Xian's words that night and began to read the letters and files hidden in the cohts before he finishedOnly then did he know that these were mei had written to the EmperorIn them, she had systedoNo, it should be said that they were treasonous
These poison-like wordshotIn his shock, he did not exa closelyHe just picked a few of the texts regarding the establishh closelyHe knew that the Overwatch Council was a ya lady of the Ye fale-handedly created
Why did there need to be an Overwatch Council in the world? Perhaps the answer could be found ast these letters and filesWas the Overwatch Council'sfor the Emperor? But, ere there very few places in the papers that mentioned the one who sat in the throne and the one who ardless of whether Yan Bingyun wanted to see or dared to see, the not-particularly beautiful words still woran to think deeply and becoht he was threatened by his father and forced to accept Fan Xian into the manor may not have been a co court
He walked to thein the secret rooh theat a corner of the Royal Palace under the setting sunNarrowing his eyes slightly, he felt that the red reflected lightly was soAfter a brief pause, he found a piece of black cloth froainCarefully, he hung it over the glass , blocking out the ie of the Royal PalaceIt was as if this could htly more at peace
The Emperor had been heavily injured by the assassins but had fortunately not diedHe just suffered from periods of unconsciousness and wakefulnessWho knehat his condition was like now? It was during this powerful Emperor's moments of wakefulness that he coolly, even coldly, issued a nu he could to ensure Fan Xian re territoryOn the contrary, the court did not seem to care at all about the assassins froh to survive
Yan Bingyun lifted a corner of the black cloth and narrowed his eyes at the brilliant Royal PalaceHe had remembered another matterIt seemed that other than the mission to kill Fan Xian or find his body, the internal court was quietly seeking some objectIn the Emperor's heart, it seemed that this object was even more iht snow fell sporadicallyThere were no longer any traces left behind on the square in front of the Royal PalaceThe blood hadthe clean and tidy stones underneathThe sky full of arrows also didn't leave any proof of the and deep holes on the bricks of the palace walls and the tiles to the west that showed any evidence of the tragedy of that day, as well as proved to those passing by that the terrifying heavenly attacks had indeed existed and were not just a figination
Fan Ruoruo wore a snohite cloak and stood quietly in front of the Royal Palace's deep palace gates, waiting for the iuards to inspect her palace entry token togetherAfter Scholar He and the Hall of Governmental Affairs was attacked, the defense in every yadou had been raised to wartime levelsShe knew very well that what had truly scared the court was the assassination atte kept hidden within certain limits and had not spread to the common people
Her entry into the Palace had been personally ordered by the Emperor after he woke upThe Head of the Ione to the Fan manor to invite herThis was not just because theMountain and Fei Jei had already reached a certain realmMore importantly, the heavy injuries sustained by the Emperor were not internal wounds and sword marks the assassins left behindMost fatal were the metal shards that had shot into the flesh at his chestAs everyone knew, it see lady of the Fan ery
On her way, Fan Ruoruo already learned from the head doctor the present condition of the Emperor's body and knew that he had not died to her shotWho knehat kind of feelings were in Fan Ruoruo's heart? Strangely, she did not feel too much disappointment, only a sense of confusion
She had lived in the Royal Palace for a full five months and stayed in the royal study for five monthsIt could even be said that she was the woest these few yearsShe knew very hat kind of person the gradually aging Emperor wasMore importantly, this Emperor did indeed treat her differently
“Be careful after you enter the PalaceIf the Emperor cannot be seen at once and you have to stay in the Palace to treat hi's heir, quietly reminded her as he stood by her side orry between his brows that could not be suppressedTreating the Ely, Fan Xian could not escape his connection to the Emperor's injuriesFan Ruoruo just happened to be Fan Xian's favorite sister
Re that Fan Ruoruo had been under house arrest in the Palace a few 's heart
“HhtlyThe frostiness on her face graduallyand then followed the head doctor and guard into the Royal Palace
She had always known of Li Hongcheng's feelings and was deeply touched by it, particularly recently as the Fan ardless of whether it was Lin Wan'er's status as a princess or Fan Ruoruo's position in the Ereat cris that were unnecessary to bring upIt was at this ti, who had become the Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs after returning fro Road, threw caution to the wind and bravely held the fort at the Fanthe ruthless soldiers
Without Li Hongcheng, life in the Fanforward through the quiet and cold palace gates, their footsteps rang out quietlyFan Ruoruo's head was slightly loweredShe felt that her brother had spoken correctly when he said that life was a playOften, it was a very absurd playThe E to treat him
Until the moment Fan Ruoruo stepped into the Palace, she had still notto deal with the situationShe knew that the Emperor had woken upIt was fortunate that he had and sent down an edictIt was only because of this that the Fan manor had not faced disasterGiven the crime Fan Xian had committed, the entire Fan manor would probably be taken into prisonAt most, Lin Wan'er, Fan Ruoruo, and the children would be taken into the Palace
The Emperor did not issue such an edictThis made Fan Ruoruo feel the utmost admiration for her sister-in-law's decision that day to not leave the capitalAlthough no one knehat Fan Xian and the Ereeuessed a littlePresently, Jingdou was only desperately hunting for Fan Xian but had not used lightning-like strength to suppress those who Fan Xian protected
The Fan fa the capital to return to Danzhou demonstrated, without question, a certain kind of attitudeIt was one in which they tested the E out his proreat admiration for her sister-in-law's coolness in the face of disasterIn her heart, she further developed a sense of worshi+p toward her brother that had long taken root in her heartIn this world, who, other than her brother, could force a powerful ruler to continue suppressing his rage after being alht in front of herFan Ruoruo gradually cal Tower, she was only helping her brother escape JingdouAfter all, she could not feel much resentment and hatred toward the EmperorAfter all, the death of the poor infant she had never o was too distant from her
